The finding again in good condition a gem that has been lost or forgotten is a sign of success. The turban (amama) if seen to fall over the face and covering the eyes is a presage of blindness (aina), from which God preserve us! The inkstand (douaia) indicates the remedy (doua), namely, the cure of a malady, unless it be burnt, broken or lost, when it means the contrary. Sawing wood (nechara) means good news (bechara). Abou Djahel (God's curse be upon him!) has added that such conclusion would take place during the night.Ī jar (khabia) is the sign of turpitude (khebets) in every kind of affair, unless it is one that has fallen into a pit or river and got broken, so as to let escape all the calamities contained in it. The sight of a saucepan (beurma) announces the conclusion (anuberame) of affairs in which one is engaged. It differs greatly from this latter flower, inasmuch as the slightest breath of wind will upset it. However, the prognostications furnished by the jessamine have not the same character of certainty as those given by the rose. The man, then, who sees a pessamine in his dream is to conclude that the deception, yas, in the name yasmine, is an untruth, and will thus be assured of the success of his enterprise. The pessamine (yasmine) is formed of yas, signifying deception, or the happening of a thing contrary to your wish, and mine, which means untruth. It is the same with baldness of the temples, and similar things. The sight of a fresh rose (ourarde) announces the arrival (oroud) of a pleasure to make the heart tremble with joy a faded rose indicates deceitful news. To dream of a shield (henata) means the coming on of all sorts of misfortune, for this word, by a change of letters, gives koul afa, "all bad luck." ![]() The appearance of ostriches (namate) in dreams is of bad augury, because their name being formed of naa and mate, signifies "news of death," namely, peril. The sight of a lily (sonsana) is the prognostication of a misfortune lasting a year (son, misfortune sena, year). If he sees his nail (defeur) reversed or upside down, this is an indication that the victory (defeur) which he has gained over his enemies will change sides and from a victor he will become the vanquished inversely, if he sees the nail of his enemy turned the wrong way, he can conclude that the victory which had been with his enemy will soon return to him. The teeth (senane) represent years (senine) if therefore a man sees in a dream a fine set of teeth, this is for him a sign of a long life. ![]() I shall treat this subject more particularly in the explication of dreams. The man who dreams that his member has been cut off is certain to live long after that dream, for, as said above, it presages his loss of memory and the extinction of his race. The dekeur plays also an important part in dreams. When he died they will say, "His member has been cut off," meaning, "His memory is departed from the world." Dekeur is a word which signifies the male of all creatures, and is also used in the sense of "mention" and "memory." When a man has met with an accident to his member, when it has been amputated, or has become weak, and he can, in consequence, no longer fulfil his conjugal duties, they say of him: "the member of such a one is dead" which means: the remembrance of him will be lost, and his generation is cut off by the root. As regards the names of kamera and dekeur, their meaning is plain. ![]()
